The secret in the lyrics of Chapter 136

"Kaoru, I'll talk about it first, you can take this task, but you must not kill anyone!" After calling the police, the group of us went to the backstage of the Budokan performance. On the way, Conan deliberately walked behind me and said to me in a low voice.

"Hi ~ Hi. I spread my hands and chuckled. "Anyway, it's a protection mission, and I promise to only bring the kidnappers to the police, and I will never pull out my guns during this period. "I don't care about Conan's admonition. After Minami Takayama was wheeled into the car, I didn't find anyone on my phone's task list to accept the abduction mission, and the first concert was just a few hours later, and basically no one would pick up the mission. And just now, Minami Takayama was kidnapped again, which only proves that the kidnapper is the publisher of that mission. Because no one came to accept the abduction task for a long time, they had no choice but to take it upon themselves to kidnap Tix on the street.

But unfortunately, their abduction process was all seen by Conan. So, the anger of a detective suddenly burned. In order to ensure the perfection of this rescue plan, Conan will naturally ask me for help, huh...... If you want me to help, you have to follow my rules of conduct. Anyway, it was established that our goal was to protect the tix. Then a good person will do it to the end, and if you complete three performances in two weeks, you can receive 30 million yen, how could I miss such a good thing.

"So, you go with the imps to report this to the staff, and then when the police come, I'll call the boss of this mission and see if I can get any useful information. "Walking to the front of the Budokan Hall, I said to Conan in a low voice. "Ah, we'll meet in front of the Budokan in a minute. I'll call you if I have any questions. Conan nodded solemnly at me, and then led the children to the backstage of the Budokan Gym. I turned around and walked out of here, heading for the woods not far away.

"Eh, Conan, where has Mingya-san gone? Seeing me leaving, Ayumi also asked Conan suspiciously.

"Kaoru has something else, let's report it first. Then I came back to him. Conan replied. Then he ran into the martial arts hall with his three children.

On the other side, when I came to the woods, I found a tree that was not very tall, and after stepping up, I took out the phone, found the number of the contact and dialed it.

“...... Moses, Moses. A somewhat trembling male voice rang on the other end of the phone. "Please...... Excuse me...... Ice, Mr. Ice?"

Ice is the name I use on the Mercenary mission list. Anyway, the name has no origin now, and no one knows it. I'm too lazy to use a new name, there are too many identities. But I didn't say anything to him, just lowered my throat and said coldly in my adult voice. "Mission requirements. ”

"Ahh......h Yes!" the man's voice was full of fear. I guess I learned about this website from some source, and it may be the first time for him to publish a task. "Let me introduce myself, I'm Sawai, the agent of tix. To be honest, I had to ask you for help this time. ”

"I don't have that much time to listen to your nonsense. The target has been kidnapped. I frowned and said coldly. This agent probably doesn't know that Minami Takayama and Shiina Nagano are tied up, or do they still have time to talk nonsense?

"What?!" the agent was also flustered.

"It won't be long before the police go to the Budokan Gym, you'd better order it. ”

"Yes...... Yes!" the agent was already crying in fright. "That. That one. That's it, from last Sunday. Signs of prying began to appear on the doors of our company and Miss Minami's house, and I kept receiving threatening phone calls, although Miss Minami herself thought it was okay, but as a star who had just debuted and became popular all the way, my agent really couldn't afford to take this risk and used this method to protect them, so please be sure to help me. Let these three concerts of tix be completed smoothly. I'm sorry Mr. Bing, but 30 million yen is really the highest I can come up with. I beg you to say yes!"

"Do you have any clues about the kidnappers? I continued in a cold voice.

"No, Miss Minami and Mr. Shiina are very good, and their reputation in the company is also rave reviews. The agent said timidly.

"Is there anything new at TIX since last Sunday?"

"Yes. I talked about the new song on the radio. And the audition was also played. This was followed by threatening phone calls. ”

"Is there anything else you have to say?" I said coldly to my agent after a general understanding.

"It's ...... I'm sorry Mr. Bing, that's all I know, so there's no way to give you more leads. I'm so sorry!" said the agent, afraid that I would give up on the mission.

"I see, I'll tell you when I have news. "I didn't say anything more, because the police car with the siren was already heading towards the Budokkan. I believe that this agent will meet with the police in a moment. "Remember, don't give away my information, or Tix and you will never see the sun tomorrow!" I hung up. Jumped off the treetops and walked in the direction of the Budokan Museum.

I didn't walk into the Budokkan, but waited for Conan and them to appear at the entrance of the Budokan Gym, and sure enough, Conan and they quickly ran into my sight.

"How?" asked Conan.

"No clue at all. I shook my head, "But the problem is probably from the practice tape." "All the messages I received from the client pointed to that broadcast, and the only new thing about tix lately was the new song. But after we listened to it, there was nothing wrong with that tape, so I think the problem was with the lyrics, and we'll listen to it again later. So, what about you?"

"Ah, got some information about the prisoners. Conan said sternly. "First of all, the prisoner knows Officer Twilight. Explain that the prisoner had dealt with the police. Secondly, the prisoner took the initiative to ask for the police, but in the end he only wanted to get the bag in my hand. Conan raised his bag and said to me.

In other words, the prisoner just wanted what was in the bag. In addition to cosmetics and essentials, women's backpacks are the only ones they're interested in, right?" I analyzed.

"Definitely. I also think that's where the problem lies. Conan nodded. "And the prisoner named us to give it to him. "We?"

"Yes, the prisoner said, let the five imps send it, and in ten minutes he will call to the exit of Kudanzaka at Kudanxia Station, and if there is one less person, they will kill Tix without hesitation. ”

"Five, are you sure it's not four?" I raised my eyebrows.

"Yes. Five. A smile crossed Conan's face. In other words, the prisoner did not monitor this place, there were five imps, which is what he saw from the fast food restaurant just now. ”

"Oh, that's a lot easier. But to be on the safe side, it's better to scam them on the way, and maybe you'll get some useful information. I chuckled.

"Ah, let's go. "As we spoke, several policemen appeared beside us, dressed in civilian clothes. Then he ran with us to the place where the target was supposed to be.

Ten minutes. No more, no less, we just ran to the place where the prisoner was calling, and picking up the phone, Conan began to talk to the gangsters for about two minutes. Conan hung up the phone.

"Now, Conan, what are we going to do?" Ayumi asked, a little worried.

"It's okay, we've been able to confirm a lot of things. However, the motive of the prisoner is not yet known. Conan frowned. Then he shouted into the distance of the platform. "Kaoru!

Hearing Conan's shout, I also stepped out of the corner of the platform. "Questions?"

"Nope. The prisoners didn't ask us the slightest question about our numbers. And I also tricked them into wanting the tape. Conan smiled confidently. "Then he told us to take the subway to the next place. Time is tight, we have to hurry. ”

"Well, it's okay, the prisoner should have calculated the distance. There should be just enough time. I said lightly. "When you're in the car, you can copy the lyrics. ”

"Ah, let's go. "Say no more. We boarded the Yamanote Line again and began our path to arresting the gangsters this time.

[The countdown bell rings, after I change my mood and run out.] One, two, like fireworks out of season. Someone, somewhere. The melody that announced a new beginning......] I squinted my eyes as I looked at the lyrics of tix's new song.

"Kaoru, can you see what's wrong?" asked Conan.

"No, you can't. Just looking at the lyrics doesn't show any problems. I frowned and shook my head. "It might be helpful to know the circumstances under which the lyrics were conceived. ”

"If that's the case, I said it on that broadcast. Mitsuhiko recalled. "I thought of the lyrics near a temple, and the temple seems to be called ...... Shengenji Temple. ”

"Shengenji?" Conan seemed to think of something. Then he explained to us. "On Chinese New Year's Eve last year, there was a homicide near Shengyuan Temple, where a mentally ill man got into an argument with a man with a gun and was killed because the gun went off. And the man was released for self-defense. ”

"Bang~" As soon as the words fell, Conan looked up and saw me stretching out my index finger and thumb to shoot him.

"Huh, is it!?" Conan realized.

"Ah, fireworks should be gunshots, and the countdown bell refers to the bell on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the date at the beginning marks the time. This is the motive for the prisoner to kidnap Tix. ”

"That's right. Conan smiled confidently. "Okay, so that we have all the qiē of the prisoner, and then we only need to ......"

Bell bell bell ...... Bell bell bell ......

As soon as I got off the train at the station, the phone was rang not far away. A sneer hung on the corner of Conan's mouth, and he quickly ran over. Soon, Conan hung up the phone again and ran with us to the train that was about to start. Shinagawa, Shibuya, Kanda, Meguro, Otsuka, station after stop, we go back and forth on the Yamanote Line.

"Really, what the hell do the prisoners want us to do!" After running for an unknown number of stops, Motota, who had taken a short break, finally sat out of breath and sat in the car and complained.

"Mingya, why don't you look tired at all. Beside me, Mitsuhiko also asked with a tired look on his face, holding his knees.

"Uh-huh. If you have been running in the morning since you were four years old, you can run now without getting tired. "I understated.

"Wow. It's tiring to think about. Yuan Tai looked at me with a look of horror.

"Whew...... Forget it, you can't compare to Kaoru. Conan also wiped the sweat from his face, "Kaoru is different from you, he has been a monster since he was a child. ”

"Monsters?" Ayumi asked, confused.

"Uh...... It's just that the physical fitness is good from a young age. I remember playing football with him when I was a child, and every time I was tired and lay down, he wanted to be like no one. "See my slightly chilling eyes. Conan hurriedly changed his tune.

"Let's go to the next station. The call might come right away. I didn't pay attention to Conan's words, but walked off the train first, and it was said that the getting on and off of the train at this station made me feel a little bored as a killer, except for Shiho, when was I led by the nose by others?

"I got off the train and soon the phone rang. This time, though, the prisoner didn't let us go to the next stop. But......

"What?!, you want me to give her the tape, can't I?" Conan said in surprise into the phone. on this. I just stared. Instantly knew the purpose of the prisoner. Soon, we were running to the toilet together, away from the police's sight.

"Conan, what the hell did the prisoner say, who does he want us to give the recording to?" Mitsuhiko asked anxiously in a private room.

"The prisoner asked us to give the tape to Ayumi and let her take it alone. Conan frowned,

"Hey??Why is that? Ayumi instantly became nervous.

"It's fine. Yoshida-san, we will never let you do such a dangerous thing. Seeing Ayumi nervous, she was about to cry. I hurriedly spoke up to comfort me. "Hey. Conan, talk here. "I pulled Conan out. I went to another private room.

"Since we have analyzed the motives of the criminals from the lyrics. Then the sound of fireworks represents the sound of gunshots, and it is very likely that the prisoners now also have guns. Since they dare to shoot and kill, then this time they definitely don't plan to put it back. Children can't be allowed to take this risk. I frowned.

"Ah, I know. So I'm thinking about how I can get through this. Conan thought solemnly with his hands around his chest. "I have a badge here, which is a transmitter that I can track with my glasses. My idea is for you to take these glasses and let me face the prisoner after I change clothes with Ayumi. Then you take the glasses and give them to the police, so that the officers can come quickly. ”

"The prisoner may have a gun in his hand. What are you going to do with it?" I said, shaking my head.

"I have a gun, too. Conan smiled and shook his wrist.

"There is only one tranquilizer gun at a time, and there is more than one prisoner. I frowned. "If the prisoner has two guns, you'll be there anyway, and don't forget, the opponent is a murderer. ”

"It'......," Conan said.

"Well...... It's my job anyway, so let me put on makeup. I just give tix an explanation. I shrugged.

"Makeup, but your hair color is pale, and Ayumi is ......."

"Rest assured, I've done infiltration missions before, and makeup and disguise are a piece of cake for me. "I have no conscience towards Conan. "Okay, give me the badge, you go tell the kids about the plan and call Ayumi by the way. Time is running out, and I need to get ready. ”

“...... Okay, but don't forget our agreement, you can't kill anyone!" Conan instructed me as he shoved a transmitter into my hand.

Soon, Ayumi walked to my private room with a worried face.

"Yoshida-san. Listen to Conan, right?" I smiled lightly at Ayumi's worried look. In the face of such a thing, children will still be more or less afraid.

"Uh-huh......" Ayumi replied in a small, mosquito-like voice.

"Well, don't be afraid. I'm going to have to put on your makeup quickly, time is running out, so let's change my clothes first. With that, I took off the trench coat I had been wearing and handed it to Ayumi, and took out the same pants and shoes as I was now from the necklace while she was not noticing. Then walked out of here and went to another single room. "Throw it to me from above when you're done, Yoshida-san. ”

"Ah, yes. Ayumi on the other side suddenly turned red. Then he began to change his clothes. Soon. A red hoodie suit was in my hands. Hurriedly put it on my body, and I suddenly felt that this plan should be done by Conan, because just before the incident, I had just sold Conan. At this time, he should have come. It's a pity that I only remembered it now. Allah, this dress...... It's a little small. (To be continued......)
